Pinched this idea from Mumsnet via Twitter. Look up your kids' first names on google and then tell what their first "namesakes" do or are.

DD1: sculptor, lecturer
DD2: musician, artist
DD3: actress

My own first name turns up a bunch of actresses as well!

annodomini Mon 15-Apr-13 14:04:55

I can't find anything very distinguished for my DSs but I appear to be an actress, a model and a medium.

Isn't this wonderfully silly?

annodomini Mon 15-Apr-13 16:40:17

Oh, it's just the first names we want. In that case DS1 has the name of a fictional Scottish cop and DS2 has the same name as a former English rugby captain, hobbit actor, Spandau Ballet star etc.

BAnanas please tell me your DS1 isn't Agamemnon!

BAnanas Mon 15-Apr-13 17:03:58

annodomini - as if! I don't think it would have been fair to send a boy to school called Agamemnon. To be precise should have said Macedonian king, I'm sure you know now!

annodomini Mon 15-Apr-13 17:09:54

Whew, Bananas. wink At least with Macedonian kings there's a choice of two 'normal' names but I think I know the one you mean.

DD1 comes up as an actress, DD2 herself (theatre designer) and DD3 a queen of England!
